Haha… In case you didn’t know that Kiz is a douche… uh, Kiz is a douche. This does not bode well for Pinter, I’m sure…

I’m going to be away this weekend, starting on Friday! That means super crunch time for page 35 XD I’m going to do my best to have it done by tomorrow night so I can upload it before I leave (or possibly just have comicpress do it for me automatically). In any case, if there is for some reason no comic on the weekend you’ll know I have fail’d (I hope not).

Made a few more page edits here and there, won’t point out where. At the end of the chapter you’ll be able to go back and read the whole thing without the little mistakes, I’m sure it will be much more enjoyable!

im not quite sure what u guys are talking about…. but im pretty sure he means the Green hair on top of her head, and the green pubic hair. “are her pubes the same color green as her hair on her head?”
did no one else catch that but me?

Geez, this comic is so good. I vote every day, and I just had to leave a comment. You may or may not read this, but I just gotta let you know how EXTREMELY GREAT this comic is so far, and I can only imagine how great it is going to be in the future. By the way, love Pinter’s face in the last panel. Pinter’s probably my favorite character so far, seeing as how we share a look, what with the sideburns and whatnot. Definitely don’t share the man-boobs or the alcoholism, even though I’m pretty Irish. Anyway, long-ass comment aside, keep up the great work, I for one am enjoying this comic greatly, and I thank you for sharing your great talents on the internet. I’ll get my tongue out of your ass, now.

Another great page! Don’t hurt your drawing hand trying to finish a new page before leaving.
If I may make a small suggestion?
There’s not a lot of difference in size and angle for Pinter, between panel 1 and 2. In film, we’d refer to it as a jump cut- a little jarring moment. Easily fixed by varying Pinter’s size in either panel one or two, whichever works best. Play around with it.
Apart from that detail, the rest is awesome. Great coloring, as always.

I love this comic, but I have to say that am a bit disappointed at the turn it has taken.

Kiz’s reference to Angora’s privates brings the story down in my opinion. It makes it crass. It’s not like the story was innocent. After all, Kiz had some nastiness on his mind in the opening pages, but somehow his groin-talk brings it low.

I guess what I’m saying is that Angora had an innocence that I liked. Yes, she is naked, but she never acted naked. Like a child, she appears to not give it much thought. So, I took it the same way.

Kiz bringing up the question of her pubic hair shifts the whole mood. That’s too bad. There was a nice magic there.

Sure, thanks for your opinion, that was actually the reason I made him say it in the first place. Angora is basically the opposite of sexual nakedness, the fact that Kiz thinks that way is supposed to illustrate a point. I think it’ll work better once all the pages are cohesive… if I were patient enough to do all the pages at once so they could be read in sequence I think you’d find it a lot less offensive.

Actually, I did re-read the story. I see what you are saying, though, but I think Kiz’s actions in the beginning stated his character clear enough. It was clear that he was evil without using descriptives.

I think of Darth Vader in Episode Four. We knew he was as evil as all get out because- among other things- he kidnapped and tortured Princess Leia with that floaty, ball, droid thing with all the needles. THAT was evil, but it was nothing specific. We knew he did something bad, without him giving gory details about exactly what he did with the needles. A general tone was maintained.

That’s what I’m saying with Kiz. We knew he was a lecherous creep from when he was chasing Angora… but I kind of don’t want to know that he’s thinking about her pubic hair.

But, hey… that’s me. You still got a great comic there, and I intend find out how it ends.

I think having him say it here will help with some pages that are coming up in the future, since Alex has already hinted at him “getting was he deserves.”
I think having Kiz say some pretty inappropriate things kinda reinforces the fact that he’s an evil douche who’s about to get what’s coming to him. C:

oh man that’s fantastic. God Kiz you are SO sick. Ffffffft I think Pinter is my favorite character. Dunno why. Man that skullcap just has me all kinds of curious. Of course, it’s probably explained somewhere along the way in the storyline. You win hardcore at this comic/story <3

@Daddy-O: It wouldn’t be very practical if Kiz wasn’t a douche about this. Take a bunch of single men out into the middle of nowhere to work with no women around and that’s gonna happen. To just ignore the whole idea of Angora being naked seems silly and contrived. That’s why I can’t help but giggle at Pinter’s reaction to Kiz’s perverted statement. If Pinter’s mind weren’t fully invested in booze, I’d have to call him a liar.

So, it’s either have characters wonder about each other’s groins OR read fluff? Hmmm… I think there are other options, don’t you?

Listen, I never said to ignore Angora’s nudity. Clearly both Kiz and Pinter haven’t. And I even like the fact that Angora has a child-like view of her body. Of course it is a story element.

My point was that it need not become crass. That’s all. No biggie. Nothing to see here, folks. Move on. Move on.

I think “The Meek” is one of the BEST comics on-line. Hands down. No question.

But I disagree with the creator on this point. So what? I even disagree with my wife of 15 years on certain points. Should I drop that relationship for a “fluff” relationship more equatable to “Pokemon manga”?

Its okay to have opinions! If Daddy-O thinks its a bit too crass, thats okay! He has the choice to continue reading to see where it goes or to not read as he likes, there is no need to pick at his preference! Lets keep it respectful :)

Every page is a surprise :) I expected lots of greenery, but this time you coloured it bluish. It’s really refreshing.. for some reason!
This isn’t really a big deal, but – in panel 3, Pinter looks somewhat different. I’m not sure.. I think it’s the eyes?

haha :D oh dear! Well, it’s really alright. I just reread the comic and noticed you edited a couple of things. So maybe after giving the page some breathing space you’ll be able to go back and get the eyes to look the way you want (:

My respect for Pinter is very, very high right now. <3 Pinter’s expressions in the third and last panel are really great, too. Like the gears are turning in his head and he’s ready to smack something again. AWESOME.

Yay, I knew it’d be Kiz :D Time for another beat down it seems.
I suppose no more than a day has passed since Pinter gave him that black eye? In that case it seems odd to me that Kiz’s eye is that blackened but not swollen at all. Just a minor detail :)

I love this comic so far, I check it nearly every day for updates because I am a psycho. xD
Anyways, why is Pinter kind of a douche? I mean, he totally just denied poor Angora. Maybe he’s not a douche, just anitsocial and really lazy…?

haha that black eye and Kiz’s expression in panel 4 are murderous! I also really like the slow revolve in the first few panels, it’s very, i dunno, /environmental/. gives a good sense of space i guess.

Angora comes out of nowhere, Kiz says some gross stuff and/or tries to chase her again, Pinter has to whoop his ass- accidentally kills him, has to run away from the village/whatever, and goes with Angora.

man i love this so much 83
you are so amazing!
i usually just watch you on DA but there is more here =D
im voting like you ask ^^ [whats it for?]
i cant wait to see more
amazing work. [love the characters by the way]

Great comic you got here, I’m interested to see where it goes! This is my first comment, and I just wanted to say that Angora walks around naked, so you’d think everyone already knew whether she was green below or not ^_^
Keep up the good work!

I know that you already have lots of this sketched out… but if the little Bolitoglossa is not already a recurring character, and you could somehow *make* it one… this webcomic would achieve awesomeness even more than it already has.

To those wondering about the ‘green below’ comment, I first of all also had the thought that he would know how ‘green she was below’ then realised from that that it’s a play on the metaphorical ‘green’- meaning inexperienced. He’s asking if she was a virgin, I suppose.

Anyhow, great work on the comic- great art, characterisation and plotting thus far. I appreciate Pinter here being the only man with a conscience, hah, and that he doesn’t make a huge deal out of Angora’s nudity or view her in solely sexual terms, unlike the other guys.
